Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~

For a while, the Pope and spirit-like beings that emerged from the world tree embraced each other as merciful.

Incidentally, the spirits still supply magic to the world tree without any slight movement, even after we showed up.

That's all I need to focus on to supply magic to the world trees.

It's just that this is the only time that it might get in the way, so are you two reunited? In order not to get in the way, I activated a strong sanctuary boundary consciously to cover the root of the world tree in the ground. At that time, I met the spirit of the world tree for the first time.

I didn't feel anything special from my gaze, but I just felt like I was seeing something through me.

Perhaps Lord Rainstar…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… for the time being, I shook my head that my delusion preceded me, and I tried to interpret the Spirit of the World Tree.

Then the Spirit of the World Tree smiled quietly and said a word or two in front of the Pope's ear. When the Pope leaves the Spirit of the World Tree in a nostalgic way, the Spirit of the World Tree floats lightly and is sucked into the World Tree - at that time.

The world tree emitted so intense light that it took away its sight that it was too dazzling to cover its sight with its hands.

And when the light gradually subsided and confirmed that there was no abnormality, an unfamiliar wand was floating in front of the Pope.

When the Pope took the wand without fear, he quietly began to chant.

"[Many spirits inhabiting this planet, let go of the yoke of concubinage and unleash the power to support the Holy One, in accordance with the ancient covenant to save the world from despair. Sanctuary Liberation]"

Immediately after the chant was over, the Pope shined, and the light changed shape. When the light subsided, the Pope's figure changed dramatically... but it didn't change the look of adulthood at once.

Previously, he wore a robe from St. Shroud's Church, but when the light subsided, he wore a blue silver dress armor.

Greaves visible from skirts with slits of slightly longer length and patterns seen somewhere in a slightly longer cage up to the elbow are engraved.

The Pope looked back at us after seeing himself.

"I made you wait. Now we can fight evil."

Immediately after she cried, her eyes became a little red and she seemed to be embarrassed, but she felt more confident and mysterious.

Lumina and Lydia naturally knelt down to feel the aura coming from the Pope.

"That's the Pope's strongest outfit, right? It suits you very well."

"Frankly speaking, it's illuminating... But I wish I hadn't had the chance to look like this forever."

The pope was in bright repair, but his hand with his cane trembled.

Though I thought it was innocent, I decided to ask about the spirits just now, as it was necessary without time.

"I wish I had had another chance. Pope, I need to ask you something. About the Spirit of the World Tree earlier....."

"My concubine's mother."

"Was it? But why did the Pope's mother become the Spirit of the World Tree?

Hielves were originally taught to play the role of guardian of the world tree, and elves were taught to play the role of supporting that hielf....

"About my mother... Lucille had heard from Luna, but his father had no choice but to destroy the evil gods and at the same time cut down the world tree, which had been eroded by the evil gods' vision."

Luna... the Spirit Queen Raphyluna. I was only a little surprised that Sir Rainstar had cut off all the evil gods by his own will.

"Because the scale is too different, I recognize it as a myth with tailings."

"That might be true. It is only a fact that we cut down the trees of the world in order to completely obliterate the evil gods. As a result, nothing seemed to have happened for a while, but because the world trees no longer absorbed the mood, the earth gradually began to become rough, mood arose everywhere in the world, and the monsters strengthened, and the number swelled up."

The Pope smiled as if he remembered Lord Rainstar, but since the trees of the world were cut down, the voices that spoke of the end of the world have trembled ever since.

"That's why the Lord God, Claire, imposed the role of a world tree on Raphyruna, the Spirit Queen, to stop it?

I hear that was the only way.

The Pope looked back and gave Raphyluna an unfortunate look.

But I had no idea Lord Rainstar was convinced of the decision and followed it.

"Sir Rainstar didn't think of any further measures? I don't think that Lord Rainstar is just holding hands?

Indeed, Sir Rainstar has set a line to seal off the Dark Continent since he defeated the evil gods.

But it can be inferred that the main god, Claire, did not allow Raffiruna, the Spirit Queen, because the fundamental problem of increasing satiety was not solved.

"Lucille was right. My father did everything he could to free Luna. The seal of the Dark Continent is part of the action."

"Still, it wasn't enough to convince Claire the Lord."

If so, the spiritual queen's presence in the Labyrinth of the World Tree doesn't match the Tsuji.

"... that's just a little different. That means that my father was also a human race. The evil gods soon vanished as soon as their father became serious. However, it turns out that the worldly tree, which was corroded by caries, supplied power to the evil gods and resurrected many times, and cut down the worldly tree. But he was paying for cutting down the world's trees."

... it took me a while to understand the Pope's words.

And I remembered that after I trampled the labyrinth of the world tree, I won the title of "Protector of the World", and there was something over my head that made me chilly.

"What was the price?

"It was the worst price I could pay for my strength, my magic, and my memory."

If you fought to protect the world, it would really be the worst part. But if that's what saved the world to protect the people you care about, then you might not regret it.

Still....

"That's the worst price. But Lord Rainstar had enough power to seal off the Dark Continent at the cost, didn't he?

"My father was the strongest man in the world. However, even though memory was superior among the people, it did not exceed the scope of the people."

"No way!? So....."

It seemed like a terrible thing to do to those who saved the world.

At the same time, Lord Claire said, "Sir Rainstar has fixed a special space, so his lifespan has shrunk." It must have been one way for Lord Rainstar to leave a memory.

However, given the circumstances in which Sir Rainstar was placed, it is unreasonable and impossible to do so.

"My father always laughed when he realized he'd lose his memory, but he wanted to create a new one."

As the Pope put it, that Lord Rainstar, whatever his heart, would stand and behave like that. I just don't think people around me would agree with that.

I hear you're Lord Rainstar.

"Hmm. That's why Claire, the main god, also appointed him as the god killer who repelled evil spirits and extended his life. And I entrusted the next-generation seedlings of the world tree."

"I see... The main god, Claire, did everything she could."

Kraya, the Lord God, entrusted Lord Rainstar with the seedlings of the world's trees, presumably because he decided that the loss of Lord Rainstar's memory could be stopped.

As I thought so, the Pope's face became cloudy again.

"I wish my father could grow a world tree, but that didn't work out."

"Is that because Lord Rainstar was cutting down the world tree?

I see. But my father knew that the world tree would reject me, and first of all, how can I grow the world tree without dying? He created this space to study it, and he brought in the soil and plants around the world tree to create a similar environment. "

Perhaps the magic of restoration, the magic of growing plants, the spirits also helped me, and that's why I raised the world tree.

I just felt a little afraid to ask the Pope about it from here.

"So the seedlings of the world trees settled?

"Mm-hmm. But my father never lost his price or got lighter."

"... did Lord Rainstar still have to find another way?

It is a story of the past, but I wanted it to be so.

"That's true. I just realized that my father's lost memory was due to his old past. That's why Mother became the Spirit of the World Tree by negotiating with the main god, Claire, and activating the secret art of High Elves."

And Lord Rainstar?

I'm not the one who accepts to sacrifice someone.

"Among the high elves, only my mother could use the sleeping magic that made my father sleep for the first time for a week."

"Even Lord Rainstar has a magical effect."

"I wonder if my immunity and sleep resistance have decreased at the cost. Otherwise, I stayed up all day long."

"Um... did you want to protect Lord Rainstar's memory in exchange for your life?

Sir Rainstar's surroundings are somehow understandable.

But why is it that Sir Rainstar's memory is lost...?

"It would have been different if it had been from a new memory. But Mother wanted to avoid forgetting Lizaria's stepmother."

"The memory of Lord Rainstar's wife....."

"As a result, the price my father was receiving was not from the beginning. Since then, my father's research to liberate Luna and restore her mother, as well as his resentment of the main god, Claire, has made it a routine to cut through dimensions and attack."

Ripping dimensions... didn't prove to be an enemy of God.

"It's out of standard, but it's Sir Rainstar. And I think it fits well."

"Hmm. But if you come here, that's all you have to say to your concubine and father because you can see, talk, and touch your mother, who has become the Spirit of the World Tree."

That's it... I think so.

"By the way, what about the Spirit Queen?

"Even if Mother became the Spirit of the World Tree, the World Tree had to grow for some time. And it turns out that once the world tree is rooted in the earth, it won't be able to see Mother until the world tree regains its power."

"Did the Pope not come to see the Spirit of the World Tree, knowing that the Spirit Queen is sealed?

"I made up my mind, but when I really missed you...."

I regretted asking an unnecessary question.

"... I see. Thank you, Pope, for talking to me."

"Hmm. Then let's go get rid of the culprit. Lumina and Lydia get up early."

Yes.

Lumina and Lydia didn't look bad, but they looked tense and tense.

"Pope, are the Spirit Queens waiting here?

"Hmm. Luna and the others will stay here to protect the World Tree, but at the same time, the Spirits will be closer to the World Tree to exercise their powerful powers."

"Even if a monster appears in this space?

Then the Pope opened his mouth looking at Lydia.

"If Lydia holds the power of the spirits in her body and fights, it won't matter."

Eh?

The Pope laughs when he sees Lydia in such surprise.

"What are you surprised about? All spirits supply magic to the world tree, but they are so close. If only the Spirit could lend Lydia the power she wants."

"But wouldn't that upset the balance of the spirits?

"It's not enough to use the power of the world to perish. Spirit magic embodies its own image in the first place. Only monsters can use their powers. Of course, we need the help of the spirits, so the power is origami."

That's Sir Rainstar's beloved daughter. The contents of teaching are the same?

"Embodiment of the image..."

"If you can't deal with it, Luna and the others will solve it, so don't worry."

"Really?

"Hmm. And don't worry, I'll destroy all the monsters left in this space."

"Thank you very much. Then rest assured, I will dedicate all my efforts to protecting the Spirits and the trees of the world."

Lydia's anxiety seems to have been removed. But if the spirits were to protect the world tree, I felt like I would probably need a price.

So I tried to do as much as I could to keep my mouth shut.

"Pope, I've planted magic tools in cities and villages around the world to protect the world, but there's still plenty left. Can I install it to protect the world's trees?

"Lucille, don't worry. If this Nerdar were to fall into the wrong hands, that would be all."

The Pope laughed in a good mood as to what he had left behind.

In that case, what I can do to believe it...

"Lydia, I'll take care of this. I'll give this to you just in case."

Magic bag?

"Ah, there's a magic crystal ball inside, a potion that's powerful, and a replacement weapon just in case. If Nerdar falls, I want you to use it to help Nerdar residents."

After all, sightseeing in Nerdar is not possible, but there are definitely residents.

"I understand. I will do everything in my power to ensure that the Pope and Lucille are not worried."

"Mm-hmm. Lydia, I'll take care of this."

"Yes"

"Wouldn't it be better if I stayed, Pope?

With Lydia's approval, Lumina opened her mouth with anxiety.

But the Pope immediately denies it.

"Lumina will be your concubine's escort. And in the Principality of Blanche, maybe more than Lucille."

"I'm sorry. I will fulfill my mission."

Hmm.

In the words of the Pope, it seems that Lumina has regained complete confidence. However, Lumina's opportunity to play an active role is probably...

"Lucille, it's good to keep thinking, but it's time to go to the Principality of Blanche."

"I'm sorry. It's just that it's transferring from this space....."

"I know. In the first place, only the monsters that appear in this space and in Nerdar are going to disappear and then be transferred."

"I understand."

"Now, Lydia, take a good look. [Many spirits gather under the magic of their concubines to feed and remove evil existence and filth. Be the light to save the world tree. Holy Meteor]"

I look up at the sky without thinking about the pope chanting, but I can't see anything. Isn't that right? The moment I thought about it, the space swayed.

"Now, the magical faction that contained the monsters and moods in this space has disappeared. This is the range. Instead of being pulled by a magical name, just the image is fine."

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Professor."

Lydia hastily thanked her, but it wouldn't be helpful. Sir Rainstar's genealogy was still out of standard.

This made my mind a little lighter when fighting evil gods might be a little easier.

This is how I, Pope Lumina, set out for the Principality of Brange.
